I am a self-taught photographer, constantly learning and striving to improve my technique. I am an avid hiker, and love the outdoors and everything in God's wonderful creation. I like attempting to catch something of that beauty on camera, and sharing it for others to see as well. I especially enjoy visiting waterfalls. There is something alluring about falling water that strikes a deep chord within. I have now seen over 400 waterfalls in the western U.S. and Canada, and maintain a website to share my waterfall experiences. I currently live in northern California, with my lovely wife, Tara, silly little boy, Jadon, and beautiful girl, Nekoda.

They were always very pretty photos, but over the course of time I have seen his photography turn from nice shots documenting waterfalls to inc… Read more

They were always very pretty photos, but over the course of time I have seen his photography turn from nice shots documenting waterfalls to incredible works of art... and in many cases his images of popular waterfalls are the best I've seen. His 2008 waterfall calendar www.waterfallswes... is gorgeous! This is waterfall photography at its finest. His landscapes are stunning too. I dig this stuff.

I really enjoy Leon's work, and his waterfall stuff is outstanding. His site is quickly becoming my roadmap to find places to take pictures. I've seen a lot of books with pictures of waterfalls and how to get to them and Leon's stuff easily trumps them all. It's nice to see someone willing to hike 9 miles or more (one way sometimes) to take pictures. He's always been really great in clarifying where something is exactly. I enjoy his photos a lot.
Read lessI've "known" Leon (leapin26) for a few years now and I've watch Leon get better and better with each press of the shutter! I've enjoyed looking through his PhotoStream regularly. If you haven't seen Leon's work at Flickr or his website (http://www.waterfallswest.com/gallery/), you must stop by!
